Well, Amazon got me. I was planning on sending their copy back due to the fuck up on delivery date and no deals.. but then they just dropped the $20 credit towards a 3DS game purchased by 9/30 on me so sorry Gamestop, returning the unopened copy to you guys. :lol

Aww shit, I thought it'd be on any title until then.. I already have Samurai Warriors, Nintendogs and Pilotwings so really, nothing else interests me. Dammit. :(

Just email customer service...when I bought the 3DS I got a $25 credit for "select" 3DS games. I emailed them and was able to use the credit on Zelda..so my order is $14.99.

Now with the additional credit..I will probably try to pre-order Super Mario

Huh, didn't expect to get the Amazon credit. :) I wonder if I can hold on to it for a while and just get Shin Megami Tensei, or maybe even Resident Evil...

I got it too, and I have no idea what I want to spend it on. Have they announced a date for Starfox?

Is the music updated? I feel like it sounds a hell of a lot better. Than again, I only beat this game once when the game came out.
Click to expand...

I've played the game 4 or 5 times before and some of the music here sounds different to what I remember, certainly higher quality if not rearranged slightly in places. It's great.

BTW UK Gaffers, Nintendo emailed me, said that we have till June 30th to register the game to get the free CD.

They are as ugly as always. I almost thought one of them would poke my eye out with their pointy 3D nose.

EDIT: Beaten by a boobs length

Heh, got a $20 Amazon credit too. Bad ass, Amazon is still the best! You can have a shitty poster from GameStop or cold hard cash (sorta) from Amazon.

I'm using it towards a pre-order of StarFox 64 3D, its worth $40 but $20 is much better. Actually, I may end up getting it for free, like OoT3D, if I play my cards right...

Customer Sevice is your friend. Just do a webchat tell them you just got a $20 credit and it's not showing up. They will discount your order. I did the exact same thing when I pre ordered Zelda with the $25 promo credit for buying a 3DS.

Who do I trade this skull mask to?
Click to expand...
Skull Mask: After obtaining this mask, enter the Lost Woods from Kokiri Forest and go left. Put on the mask, stand on the stump, and talk to the Skull Kid. He will only give you 10 rupees for the 20 rupee mask, but you will now be able to borrow the Spooky Mask. Also, if you play Saria's Song , he will give you a piece of heart. Note: This is also a good time to head to the Forest Stage detailed below.

What I love about OoT is that it's actually one of those few games that I haven't played in years, and in record time, makes me love it all over again. I tend to be lukewarm on ports and remakes, because the magic is often missing from rereleases, but OoT simply isn't like that. I'm still early on (in Jabu Jabu's belly atm) because I haven't had a ton of time to play, but with the updated textures and the inclusion of 3D, OoT's gameplay shines through (which really does stand the test of time).

My one and only complaint is that the game doesn't include targeting improvements from Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, but it's a small thing.

Just got to the second dungeon, I have to say I like the gyro controls. I thought it would be a lame addition but it really improves aiming when you can use the circle pad to get in the general area and then the gyro to adjust your shots. I'm using 2D mostly because I like the AA and I have been using the gyro a lot. But for some cutscenes and whatnot I turn on the 3D and it is very nice.

Well guys, this is my first time playing OoT even though I've played about 5 other Zelda's, and I'm loving every moment of it! I can't stop playing it! Right now I'm in Jabu Jabu, and I'm getting killed time after time by that mid boss that swings around with spikes at the bottom (assuming that's the mid boss). I don't want any help, but this thing is stumping me!

Why would you do that?

So I just beat the game and dungeon 1 of Master Quest. Because Link is right-handed in MQ, he holds items such as the Deku Stick on the other side of him now. So lighting torches takes some getting used to.


The end of the original game was fairly epic (more so than a lot of other games) but the 3DS version totally ups the ante. And the sequence right before the final boss... It looks soooo much better now. I always felt that it looked like an afterthought in the original game, but not anymore.

The final boss isn't as dark, i.e. it's a tiny bit more colorful, but somehow it makes it much more menacing.

I'd like to imagine they put some glitches in on purpose. :p

Weird dude, just live chat with them and literally say you had a $20 dollar credit that wasn't showing up, someone should fix it, like, immediately.

For some reason Amazon gave me the $20 and another $10 credit. I didn't have either one earlier today.
Got my free Monkey Ball, so I have another $8 in credit I guess to use by Sep. 30th.

Took me 5 hours to get through there, its the most difficult point in the game thus far. Good luck!

I'm stuck in the Water Temple. I need another key for the door at the top of the waterfall that you have to grapple up.

I haven't got whatever item is in this dungeon yet.

There's a lot of grapple points too far away. Am I getting an extended hook shot?

Got to Hyrule Castle. I must say I'm quite impressed by some of the texture work.

reading impressions highlights were TP falls short.

There are just so many small memorable moments and characters scattered in the world throughout OOT .

There are two keys in particular that always stump people in that temple.
One that is past a bombable wall above where you see Ruto, and one where you need to push a block in about the center of the temple, which takes some maneuvering.

Everytime I die, I just think about how awesome it will be when I actually figure out what to do. I was afraid for some reason that this game would be easy. Man was I wrong!

yes, you'll get the new hookshot in the water temple.

We really should make a FAQ thread about the Watertemple or OoT in general. Is there one allready? If not someone should definetly make one.

I think if you look around the mid-level of the "main room" of the dungeon, you may see a doorway that leads to a block that you can push for a little ways. If you can get around from another angle and push the block more, there should be a key beyond it. I forget if you need the dungeon's item to do it, though.

Is it where you pull the block until it sinks into the ground so you can't move it any more. Then you have to have the water risen to the middle, have to shoot an arrow in the eye to open the gate for you to grapple the grapple point? That grapple point is too far.
